August was the best month for net inflows into bitcoin ETFs since July 2025 🔥
Despite net inflows of US$ 3.54 billion, 2026 remains negative on a year-to-date basis. The year-to-date balance is still US$ 1.7 billion negative.
After 2024 ended with US$ 35.2 billion and 2025 with US$ 21.3 billion, the ETFs have been net sellers in 2026 so far.
There were months of heavy redemptions between May and June, including the worst month in the entire series, with nearly US$ 4.5 billion leaving. August reversed a good portion of that, but not enough to turn the year around.
